HALO H2
CRDS Analyzer for PPB-Level Hydrogen Detection
HALO H2 CRDS Laser-Based Analyzer
LEADING CHOICE FOR ULTRA-HIGH PURITY GAS USERS
Detect gas quality upsets before they damage your process. Using our TIGER OPTICS™ HALO™ H2 analyzer, you can verify H2 impurity levels with part-per-billion accuracy, drift-free stability and instantaneous response. You will find our system exceptionally easy and fast to install, and effortless to maintain, with built-in zero verification. Its robust design—free of moving parts—results in an analyzer that has a high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) rate and a very low Cost of Ownership (CoO).With its patented catalytic conversion technique, utilizing a minute amount of oxygen to cleanly and safely convert hydrogen to moisture, the HALO H2 hydrogen analyzer offers a fully laser-based solution for continuous quality control of your process.
